Rookie Nick Kingham pitched
effectively into the seventh inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates extended their
winning streak to a season-high eight games with a 6-2 victory over the
Cincinnati Reds Saturday night at Great American Ball Park.
Corey Dickerson hit solo
homers on consecutive pitches in consecutive at-bats as the Pirates also won
for the 10th time in 11 games. He homered in the third inning and again in the
fifth off Anthony DeSclafani (4-3). It was Dickerson's eighth career
multi-homer game and second in Cincinnati.
In his 10th career start,
Kingham (5-4) allowed a two-run homer to backup catcher Curt Casali among four
hits. He won his third straight start, threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of 25
hitters and reached the seventh inning for the fourth time.
Kingham also helped himself
with a two-run single as the Pirates beat the Reds for the eighth time in 12
meetings. Josh Bell added an RBI with a double in the fourth, and Sean
Rodriguez scored on a wild pitch by Jared Hughes in the eighth after reaching
on a bunt single.
Kingham was lifted after
allowing Casali's homer into the first row of the left-field seats. Three
relievers combined to blank the Reds the rest of the way.
Felipe Vazquez hit Casali in
the elbow with one out in the ninth, putting runners at first and second, but
he regrouped quickly and easily finished off the win.
The Reds dropped their third
straight game as they mustered six hits. All-Stars Scooter Gennett, Joey Votto
and Eugenio Suarez were a combined 0-for-11.
DeSclafani lost his second
straight start after winning four straight decisions. He allowed three runs on
six hits in 4 1/3 innings and turned in his second-shortest outing of the
season.
Dickerson homered for the
third straight game with two outs in the third when he lifted a first-pitch
breaking ball over the center-field fence and onto the back patch of grass
adjacent to the seats.
The Pirates took a 2-0 lead on
Bell's double to right in the fourth, and play was halted before the bottom of the
inning when heavy rain started falling.
Dickerson made it 3-0 when he
opened the fifth by launching DeSclafani's first-pitch fastball over the
right-field fence.
The Pirates extended their
lead to 5-0 in the sixth inning when Kingham singled just past shortstop Jose
Peraza's diving attempt with the infield pulled in on the grass.
